Offshore Wind Energy

Dimensioning of the monopile

Because of low oil and gas resources Germany has so far been no country with a strong offshore industry. This is now changing with the construction of offshore wind farms in the North and Baltic Seas. But not only the offshore wind turbines themselves, but also the support structures, foundations, submarine cables, transformer stations and masts are required. In addition there are shipyards for manufacturing, sea ports for logistics and specialized vessels for installation.

As offshore structures are mainly:

Drilling platforms for oil and gas industry
Substations (substation) for offshore wind farms
Structures for offshore wind energy plants
Measurement masts
Wave power plants

SKI Ingenieurgesellschaft deals with support and foundation structures for offshore wind turbines. The onshore variants can be found under the separate heading onshore wind turbines.

A variety of support structures for offshore wind energy plants

Is there a single support structure that best meets all offshore requirements? In the opinion of SKI engineers, this is hardly possible because a variety of different site conditions (e.g. water depth, subsoil), climatic influences and turbine classes must be taken into account when designing these structures.
